Hi Folks,

As a follow up to my OP, while on the miata.net forum, I found several people who "transitioned" from a touring bike to a miata, for their touring type pleasure.

So, I was wondering if many people in this community have gone from an open topped roadster to a FR-S/BRZ coupe.

I reckon after 88,000 open topped miles, over 7 summers, in a 2006 (NC) Miata, we were ready for a change.

We have found that the FR-S is just as much fun to drive, while having a bit larger trunk space, larger seats, a spare tire and a "back seat" to put stuff in.

Actually, the REAL reason is that my co-pilot (and wife) got a bit weary of being blown by all the air and cooked by the sun in a open topped roadster.

Are we alone here ....
